Catherine and Marcello were once two of the happiest people in the world.
The very model of the perfect couple, they had never known such joy when
their baby daughter Camille was born. But then came the tragedy from
which they felt they would never recover. Their daughter died from
a rare condition and they were left utterly bereft. Since that terrible
day when their most precious jewel was taken from them Catherine and Marcello
have been living in a kind of limbo, confined to their apartment, scarcely
talking to one another and unable to socialise with others. Still smothered
in grief, they soon lose all contact with the outside world. Finally,
the couple agree to go on a long journey together. They head south,
towards the sea. They arrive to witness the froth and fun of
a wedding reception. It is then that they come to accept that life
must go on...

The brighter side of Franz Kafka
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
